Besides providing stress relief, the book has been enriching marriages.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A first Christian coloring book for adults is touching hearts in Thailand where believers number a scant one percent of the majority Buddhist population. The 40-page Love Is<\/em> features text from 1 Corinthians 13 and original illustrations by OMF publisher Kanok Bannasan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A launch timed before Valentine\u2019s Day resulted in 500 copies sold within the first six weeks. Besides providing stress relief, the book has been enriching marriages.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy friend, a non-believer, bought it for her husband for Valentine\u2019s Day,\u201d said Phunkum Pornsuda, of the Kanok production staff. The couple often quarreled and struggled with their relationship. \u201cBut when she was coloring this book, it caused her to reflect on her love for her husband once again.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the couple colored a page of a heart together, the wife posted it on social media with their photo and verses on love. \u201cPraise the Lord! We hope that she will be touched by God\u2019s true love,\u201d Pornsuda said.<\/p>\n

The awards event, “How Coloring Affects Our Moods,” drew 50 attendees.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The adult coloring book craze that originated a few years ago in Europe has sold millions worldwide. The idea took root in Thailand when MAI\u2019s Ramon Rocha suggested producing a Christian adult coloring book to Kanok Bannasan\u2019s director, Yanasiddhi Tasannee.<\/p>\n

Noting the book\u2019s initial success, Tasannee conceived a coloring competition with cash prizes that further boosted sales and social media buzz. Participants had to purchase the book and choose from one of three designated pages to color.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
A friend of the graphic designer had heard the Gospel before \u201cbut the coloring competition revived her interest in God.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

A friend of the book\u2019s graphic designer, Watcharawee Sonprint, had heard the Gospel before \u201cbut the coloring competition revived her interest in God,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

That friend was among 50 attendees at the May 10 awards event and talk, \u201cHow Coloring Affects Our Moods,\u201d at Kanok\u2019s office. Talks were led by an artist, a psychologist and the editor of a youth column.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer entry received the 2nd runner-up prize of 2,500 Baht ($75 USD). She had never read any Christian books before but she used part of the prize money to buy many of our books. We hope that she will come to know God through our ministry,\u201d Sonprint said.<\/p>\n
